Humphreys is having a great year for sure, but he's not in the conversation IMO. This is a career award and they are going up against Hergott whose career body of work obviously was good enough before this year to win, and Brown who has been putting up big numbers since his freshman year. Humphreys just doesn't have the career resume to be in the conversation unless he has a Corey Robinson like season this year.

Since when is the award for best senior in the state only for a “career body of work”? I’ve never read nor heard that 1 or 2 yr starters are discredited if they dominate. The award is for the most dominate/outstanding senior so it makes no sense to discredit a player who could have an exceptional Senior year just because he sat behind another player until he got to his junior or senior year. Also, Humphreys had a nice season last year as well in the 7 games he played.
Through week 3 Hergott’s productivity is good but it isn’t even close to Humphreys. He has over 1,00yds, 11tds-1int and is completing 73% of his passes. Those numbers aren’t against cupcake teams either, so if that doesn’t qualify one for Mr. Football conversation at week 3 then nothing will. Production matters, period.

Hergott has played about a grand total of 7 quarters this season. Beechwood has blown out all 3 teams and he’s getting no more than one series in the 2nd half. He was involved in 11 of Beechwood’s 16 offensive plays against Somerset and he accounted for 333 total yards and 5 TDs. Humphrey’s has put up bigger numbers, but he’s also played a lot more minutes. Owensboro is a really good team, but Meade and O Catholic are not good teams this year, and I believe I saw that Humphrey’s was still in late in the game against Owensboro Catholic and throwing bombs during a blowout, so comparing the two players stats is not really a great indicator. Both are great players, but it’s week 3 and a long way to go in the season.

Fair assessment, I can’t disagree with anything you said, seems pretty
spot on. Hergott may ultimately win it but my point was that Humphreys should at least be in the conversation at this way too early point in the season.
